[h1]Sochaux: Charlie Davies 'Still Very Far' from Full Return[/h1]
9/24/2010 9:05 AM ET By Brian Straus
Back when Charlie Davies' exclusion from the preliminary World Cup roster caused such an uproar, it seemed as if the rehabbing forward needed just a little more time, and perhaps some faith from the U.S. coaching staff. Davies, seriously injured in an October 2009 car accident, really believed he should have been going to South Africa.
In February, Davies had said that he was "not too far away from playing again." In May, after U.S. coach Bob Bradley announced his roster Davies gave a furious radio interview during which he claimed his club, Sochaux, "denied me a chance at playing in the World Cup" by refusing to give him medical clearance to join the national team. Again, that implied that Davies wasn't far off.
Turns out he was, and still is.
According to this dispatch from Soccer America, Davies won't play for Sochaux's senior side until at least next year.
Sochaux coach Francis Gillot said on French radio that "Charlie is still very far from achieving his level. I can't yet count on him. We'll have to wait until January."
Davies has gotten minutes with Sochaux's 'B' team, which plays in the amateur French fourth division. Sochaux trainer Cedric Blomme said Davies "is still far what you can hope for, even in the (fourth division)."
Soccer America quoted a local reporter who saw Davies play in late August as saying that he was "painful to watch."
Sébastien Daucourt of L'Est Républicain wrote: "In an hour on the field, his misery lingered. He touched just a few meager balls, with which he hardly did anything. He even began to grouse after his teammates before heading directly to the locker room, his head low, after his substitution."
In his next game, against Louhans, Davies earned a red card. He hasn't played for the 'B' team since. That was Aug. 28.
All the tweets and interviews in which Davies promised he was on the verge of a return were just wishful thinking. He's lucky to be alive, and considering the broken bones and internal injuries he suffered that tragic night in Arlington, Va., it's a miracle he's as far along as he is.
Why the hell would he even call up BMcB? I know he's retiring and all, and he was an amazing asset to the sport in this country. But we don't have time to be starting and playing people to say "thank you for all you've done." Especially at the forward position, where we don't have anyone who can find the back of the net.Originally Posted by marionthebarberian
Bob needs to get in contact with angel del ponce from chivas already.
but it would bring tears to my eyes if Brian McBride starts against poland.
